DIVINES-
DR. T. R. KENDALL

interest and study from those who have
heard thtm.
Delivers His Farewell Sermon Which
is Listened to by a Large Audience
—Sermons at Other Churches.
,
Few ministers have ever had in the
city of £ Athens such a heartfelt expres
sion of universal appreciation as that
tendered Rev, T. R. Kendall Sunday in
the farewell services. The large chnroh
wan filled with tbe most pious and cul
tured audience, not only rf his own
church, but distinguished representa
tives of other denominations. So much
have his conseorated labors, soolal na
ture and pulpit ability taken hold upon
our people that regrets have some from
every quarter of the entire city in part
ing with him.
He delivered hiB closing se-:Ldn at 11
a. m. from the text, “Abide with us;
for it is toward evening:” Lake xxiv,
29* The Holy Spirit seemed to rest up
on the congregation and not often does
a speaker have a more responsive and
sympathetic audience. Tears gather
ing in the preaoher’s eyes were answer
ed by tears trickling down theoheeke
of many. The theme discoursed open
was the power of Christian fellowship
When Roman Emperors turned all the
power of Army and State to destroy the
eai.y church, tbe hunted little flock
met in theoatacombs of Rome and amid
the skeletons of thousands of the dead
encouraged eaoh other by social fellow
ship, and kept the fires of piety burn
ing.
With churches destroyed and homes
laid waste, the Waldenses in mountain
fastnesses had preserved the seed of
true religion. The Scotch covenantors
under the heel of tyranny, kept experi
mental religion alive through social
fellowship. This it was that the two
men on the way to Emmaus joined by a
third companion, were so loth to have
broken, and therefore insisted, “Abide
with us; for it is toward evening”
The tribute paid Judge Y. L. G. Har
ris in this oonneotion was touching and
" Beauttfbl. and everybody knew so well
deserved. ' .
The ministers Of"tbe city were lov
ingly alluded to and the officers and
members of hiB church and other con
gregations.
In conclusion he said: It is natnral
that tbe heart should say “Abide, abide”
* but God knows best. It is notonly “to
wards evening,” but the shadows of
the day of our fellowship are falling.
The “evening” has come when we
must say good-bye; I thank you for so
many kindnesses am} ask to be remem
bered in your prayers. Messages by
way of the mercy seat go swift and
surely. I am sorry to leave anyone in
trouble. If in my power would roll
every burden away before going. I
trust that we shall ail meet in Heaven
As the services dosed it was a most
affecting scene to see so many going up
as long as the opportunity offered and

services at night were also largely at
tended and most impressive.
PRB3B YTERIAJJ.
Rev. C. W. Lane preached at the
Presbyterian ohnrch taking for his text
Bev. ii, 9: “I know thy works and trib
ulations and poverty, but thou art
rich.”
He showed that, though at times,
from a worldly standpoint the believer
may seem poor, there was always means
provided and help given to relieve him,
and that the riches which he possessed
far surpassed any that the world could
offer. He contrasted the wealth of the
Heavenly Father with that of any earth
ly father; the greatness of this Saviour
as a physician with that of any earthly
}iealer; that he owned a library more
valuable than any earthly collection of
books, tbe Bible, witb God for its an
tbor, salvation for its end, and truth
for its guide. His deposits were larger
than any earthly bana could hold and
by the power of prayer he ooold draw
any amount he desired.

ADVERTISE ATHENS.
If the Advantages of Her Climate and
Soil were ,Known Many Would
Come Among us.*
All that is needed to ~ bring many to
to locate here from other parts of the
country is to let her natural resources
and attractions of soil and climate be
known. To illustrate: Our reporter
met Mr. F. D. Craft, of Ohio, who ar
rived Saturday with his wife and is
stopping at the Toomer House. He is
considering the subject of settling and
engaging in market gardening.
Mr- Craft is a yonng man and has
had wide experience in extensive mar
ket gardening at Marietta, Ohio.
“Mr. Craft, wbat caused you to leave
Ohio?”
“Because tbe price of land is so high
in Ohio, ranging from $150.00 to $250.00
par acre, that a young man starting in
business for himself, naturally looks
for oheaper land. There was a time
when the eyes of tbe young men were
turned to the West, but that time is
past, and they are now looking to the
Sooth for agricultural and manufactur
ing openings. They believe that the
West oannot compete with the South
that oan produce two crops a year.”
“How was your attention first drawn
to Athens as a possible place for loca
tion ?”
“In my paper, the Rural New York
er, I read an article by Mr. E. K.
Lumpkin, of Athens, Ga., describing
the section, its advantages and the pos
sibilities it affords to young men for lo
cation, and it seemed to me that it ex
actly met my wants and so I came.”
“What are your plans f”
THE CITY ENJOIN
“If 1 can find a place suitable for
market gardening I shall take it and
try to make the same success on it that
I made in Ohio.
Agricnlture.is no longer an experi
ment. There is as much certainty in it
as there is in electrical engineering or
any other mechanical science. Effect
follows cause, and as soon as a farmer
learns what causes will produce certain
effects he is no longer in doubt as to
what course to pursue to get the best
results.”
The North and West are filled with
suoh young men as Mr. Craft, who only
need their attention called to the advan
tages of this section of the country to
bring them here.
This would be one of the duties of a
commercial club, if it was organized,
and there ia no question as to the ef
fect it would have in the bnilding up
and progress of the South, and espec
ially this part of it.
It is the confidence in their resources,
the organized effort and unity of their
citizens with their activity and enter
prise, and the inducements they are of
fering that is building and has built up
so many other cities.

AN AGED LADY’S DEATH.
Mrs. D. 8. Robinson Passes Peacefully
Away.
Monday morning at half past eight
o’clock, Mrs. D. S. Robinson passed
peacefully away at the residence of her
son, Mr. J. T. Robinson on Jackson
street.
Mrs. Robinson had passed the sev
enty-third mile post along the j jurney
of life, and when the summons came
from her Master, she was ready.
A devoted and faithful member of the
Methodist oburoh for over fifty years,
her life was full of kind and loving
deeds, whose good influence will live
after her.
The lemainsof Mrs. Robinson were
carried to Chattanooga yesterday al-
ternoon where they will be interred in
the family burying grounds.
A WORD OF CAUTION.
Keep the Money in Athens-It Is Bad
Policy to Send It Elsewhere.
The Christmas trade opened up brisk
yesterday, and our merchants did a
fair business.
Our people should not send to Atlan
t& or elsewhere for any article they in
tend to buy. This would be good ad
vice even if you oould get artioles at a
little lower price awsy, but the fact is
our merchants are underselling the
concerns in other places.
One great thing that has contributed
to the upbuilding of Atlanta is the peo
ple buy what they need at home.
Another point, watch the columns of
the Bahhkr this week, .and the men
who advertise are the men who want to
sell, and they are the ones who will sell
you at lowest prices.
The B ann* R practices what it preach
ee. It will not solicit advertisements
that come in competition with the home
trade. Keep your money at home and
buildup Athens.
A Royal Welcome.—Rev. T. O. Ro-
rie, who fi'led the pulpit of Ocon« e St.
Church, cf this city, the last confer
ence year, met with a hearty reception
upon his arrival at Milner, where he
will preach next year. The members of
the church there tad neatly arranged
the parsonage, and upon his arrival
gave him a royal welcome.
At the recent banquet of the Univer-
sitv Banquet Club, Mr. Harry A. Alex
ander, of Atlanta, responded to the
toast, “The University of Georgia.”
His speech contains much good reading
and is reproduced as follows:
Rex ahd Fellow-Members :—I have
been requested to speak a tew words to
the toast; “The University,” and with
unusual pleasure I accept the invitation.
The University is one of the objects that
are dearest to my heart. From the day
when I first trod her campus, and as a
fresh and verdant Sop^ began my
college course, my love for her has con
tinued to grow and now when the time
is not far distant for me to leave her, I
believe the day will never dawn when
this love will die.
’Tis true she has not the magnificence
of Harvard, nor the greatness of..Yale>
but my affection has never questioned,
and a halo of glory rests upon her ven
erable bead that makes her as grand as
the proudest of them all. ’Tis true she
has no princely income nor rich en
dowments. ’Tis true rather that she
sits in the robe of poverty, but the his
tory of this country records a day when
her feeble old fingers shook the pillars
of this government and helped to mold
its politics by her sons whom she sent
to the legislative halls. ’Tis true she
hes no massive buildings or stat-ly
edifices, but her plain old structures are
as beautiful iu my ey«3 as if they were
the proudest triumphs of architecture
and built of Parian marble and stone. I
love her because she is the institution
of my native State, because of the
glorious characters that have passed
from her halls, and because I believe
there is nothing in Georgia whioh has
contributed more to her true greatness
and renown.
Gentlemen, it is on account of this
love I bear her, that I feel a throb of
indignation when I see the efforts of
certain men to injure her. If there is
one thing that makes me blush for my
Georgia fellow citizens it is the un
friendly and narrow-minded spirit
which some of them display toward this
institution. Notonly should it make
me biusb, but every other man who has
a spark of patriotism in bis heart and
who feels for the honor and credit of
his State. Shall the Legislature never
meet but that some “ssge” statesman
shall introduce a bill to take back the
insignificant sum from tbe University
that is now allowed her? Will that de
luded and mistaken cry against the so-
called “luxury of higher education”
never cease? I hope for the honor of
Georgia it will be silenced soon. When
shall the Legislature perceive the fact
that the commou schools, while indis
pensable in their way, cannot do all the
work, and that they require a well
equipped University as an essential
supplement? Why do they not remem
ber that the University ia annually
turning out the young men who mak
the most effioient teachers in the com
mon schools? Why, again, do they per
sist in regarding this as a rich boys’ col
lege when it has been shown time and
again that the poor boys here are in
large majority? In short, why do they
act so unworthy in regard to tbe Uni
veraity which should be their greatest
pride?
I am unaware of a more pathetic sight
than the spectacle of this college, the
faithful old servant of the State, true
and tried, given over to neglect and
abuse, and with her feeble voice drown
ed by the lusty olamors of a vigilant
self devotion. I only hope that a day
may come when a more enlightened sen
timent shall rule the State, when wiser
men may control the Legislator ', and
when onr University, besides being one
of the oldest and most illustrious, shall
become one of tbe most powerful insti
tutions of learning in America.
I know, fellow members, it is unnec
ea?ary to remind you of your allegiance
to your Alma Mater as it is to remind
you of your allegiance to your dear
mothers at home. We all live her, we
all cherish her and, if need be, we will
all fight for her. I know you will j An
me in wishing that her glorious past
may be excelled by living splendors in
her future.
FROM ISSUI,
G IPS WATER
bonds-
OR
jTemmaa. dowel
Is the riaintlff In the Case-Tne In
junction Served on Mayor Tuck
Yesterday—The Work will Pro
ceed Smoothly.
The oity has been enjoined from the
issuance of its water works bond?, and
the water works question goes into the
courts again for adjudication.
Failing in his attempts to blacklist
the bonds in tbe Northern markets,
Mr. Howell makes this movement,
which comes in the shape of an injunc
tion in which Mrs. Emma A. Howell
appears as plaintiff.
The injunction was served upod May
or Tuck yesterday moicirg, Mr. hford
Foote, a young Atlanta attorney,
bringing it over from the Gate City,
It is sworn to by Col. John C. Reed,
of Atlanta, who represents Mrs. Howell
in the ease.
The injunction claims that the bonds
did not receive the necessary number
of votes in tbe last election and thijt
they are therefore illegally issu'd.
The vote on the bonds at the last
election was 448 to 4, and at the precedA
ing election there were 310 votes caet\
for Mayor and Aldermen, out of a reg
istry list of over eight hundred.
Now the oity claims that tbe law re
quires them to secure two thirds of the
qualified voters as appeared by the tal
ly-sheets of the last preceding election
while those - enjoining the city claim
that the law requires two thirds of the
registry list of the last preceding eleo
turn.
The injunction also contains the alle
gation tnat the present system of water
works is suffl -ient for all purposes.
The members of the oity government
entertain no fears whatever on the ques
tions raised by the injunction, and will
go to the hearing t f tbe case before
Judge Hutchins at Lawreucev.lle on
the 28th inst. with perfect confidence of
dissolving the injunction.
The work on the water works will
not cease one moment. Mr. Neely is
not included iu the injunction and of
course he will proceed in his work as
rapidly as possible. The injunction
only touches the validity of the bonds,
but as a matter of course that is but
one way iu which Mr. Howell and his
friends are attempting to defeat the
construction of the new system of works.
Of course, they can pat the city to
some little trouble by carrying tbe mat
ter into the courts, but they might as
well realize this fact, that their day in
Athens has gone.
They can fret and fume as much as
they please, the courts will not uphold
a man ora company in tbe violation of
a contract, and Athena is going to have
a new system of water works if it takes
from now until the judgment day to
build them.
Pending tbe settlement of this in
junction the bonds will not be disposed
of by the city, but as soon as the trial
come9 off all will be clear again,
We know, Mr. Howell, that “it is
hard to kick against the pricks,” but
you might as well admit that Athens is
going to have her water works system
